Inputs have a setting where the aspect ratio can be manually set between

4:3

and

16:9

. The “

auto

”

setting usually works best. In addition, inputs provide options to crop undesired input video lines from
the top and bottom and undesired pixel columns from left and right. These values are all set to zero by
default.

As shown in

Figure 33

, the last three (two on LiveShot Portable) options are global outputs settings.

The “

primary output

” (LiveShot Rack only) setting allows you to set an A/V output that will always be

enabled regardless of resolution. The default is

HD-SDI

. The other outputs will be active if they can

support “simultaneous output mode”.

With the other two global entries (format/aspect ratio) set to “auto”, the following will
happen:

1

The output video format and aspect ratio will be set to that of the input video
format on the transmitting LiveShot.

2

In the case of the

HDMI

and

Composite

outputs, there are limits to what output

formats are supported. In the case of

HDMI

, the permitted output formats are

read from the downstream HDMI device. In the case of composite, the outputs
are limited to 480/576i. If one of these outputs is active, and the input video
format is not supported, the format will be rescaled to the nearest one supported
by the output (e.g., a connection with an input format of 1080i at the encoder will
be rescaled to 480i to match the composite output).

3

In the case of multiple outputs connected simultaneously, the LiveShot will give
priority to the HD/SDI output, followed by the HDMI output, and lock into a mode
to support that output.

One important limitation to LiveShot Rackmount is that 480i SD output resolution is not supported
on the two digital outputs (

HD/SDI

and

HDMI

) simultaneously. This means that depending on the

transmitter input resolution, some connectors cannot output video simultaneously. Here’s a chart to
show some of the capabilities and limitations of simultaneous output connections in “

auto

” mode.
